I have had some very happy days in the last couple of weeks. I've been incredibly busy too, but I'm totally ok with that!

My loans came through, my application was accepted, and I am officially enrolled to go back to college starting August 28th.

My boss was incredibly supportive of my decision to go back to school, so I still have a job with a custom schedule, and he's offered me seasonal tax employment even after I leave them!

The first draft of my book is at 121,191 words, and I've still got about ten chapters to go. NaNoWriMo is going to be the time where I edit it with more polished characters and make it something I'd send to publishers by the end of the year. Something that was always on my bucket list, and it's thrilling to work on it.

Did a phone interview today so I have an in-person interview on Monday. \o/

I hope I get it, but at the same time, the last time I got that far, I was "hired"....then they changed their minds after the fact and never called me back. It's difficult to be hopeful when past experience has taught you otherwise.

This is the first year that I won't be able to attend an anime convention I've been going to for the past eight years, which is disappointing. A week ago, I discovered that there's a sci-fi convention in town on the same weekend that I can attend. I love unexpected surprises of this sort.
